Farming Incremental But With Guns Crops and Items Reference

Crops are both scenery and currency engines in Farming Incremental But With Guns. This reference page explains value tiers called out by Steam achievements and how to think about “items” when most progression is station upgrades rather than an RPG inventory.

Value tiers

Steam achievements require destroying:

• 1,000 low value crops — volume fodder; ideal for warm-ups and damage testing
• 500 medium value crops — the workhorse income tier for most of the early and mid game
• 100 high value crops — elite targets; fewer spawns, bigger spikes

Learn silhouettes in meadows first, then re-identify them under winter snow and desert haze using the Biomes Map.

How tiers interact with enchants

Crop Enchants can make any tier look gigantic. Size is not the same as value tier—an enormous low-value plant can still count as low for achievements. When hunting tallies in Achievements, verify the feedback the game gives on kill, not just vibes.

Income strategy by tier

Goal	Prefer	Avoid
Fast unlocks	Medium clears + economy upgrades	Only sniping rares too early
10M coins	Enchanted high payout fields	Ignoring pickups
Low-value achievement	Dense starter planting	Only eclipse tourism
High-value achievement	Late enchanted biomes	Resetting fields too early

Tie spends to the Upgrade Priority Tier List.

What counts as items

Instead of looter gear slots, your “loadout” is:

• Current gun upgrades from Upgrade Stations
• Farm modules (growth, expansion)
• Enchant states
• Soft currency (coins on the ground and in the wallet)

Treat coins as hot potato—reinvest using Early Game Build or Late Game Build logic.

Field composition tips

• Mix tiers so achievements advance passively while you play for fun.
• Leave lanes so giants do not trap you (How to Grow Giant Crops).
• After coin avalanches, sweep the ground before replanting.
• In winter, pause to re-spot pale low-value crops you still need.

Demo notes

The demo teaches planting and shooting the same tiers at smaller scope. Full release players should still follow How to Play habits when content expands.

Session templates by crop goal

Volume template: plant fast, clear low and medium tiers, buy growth if spawns thin out, ignore screenshot perfection.
Payout template: wait for enchant size, prioritize medium and high value, sweep every coin, buy payout or damage.
Mixed template: two volume clears, one payout clear, then a station visit that matches the weaker pillar.

Items in this game are mostly persistent upgrades, so treat each purchase like equipping a new permanent attachment. If a node does not change the next clear, it was not an item—it was a souvenir. Keep souvenirs for after Act pressure drops. Revisit this page whenever a new crop silhouette appears so achievement tallies stay honest.

Naming confusion and how to stay calm

Players will invent nicknames for crops. That is fine for voice chat, dangerous for achievement tracking. When in doubt, trust kill feedback and Steam counters over nicknames. If a patch renames produce, update your notes and keep the value-tier mindset: volume, workhorse, elite.

Coins on the ground are also “items” in a sense—temporary ones. Treat uncollected coins as a tax on impatience. A disciplined sweep after every giant collapse funds cleaner station visits and fewer regret purchases. Combine that habit with the upgrade checklist and your wallet starts behaving like a planned build instead of a carnival.
